There is only one reason why Trump won the election

That is a weird argument, it is not only the person who physically caused an action to happen that is to blame. Let's say for instance that Hitler decided to nuke London, under your argument Hitler would not be the one who caused it to happen since he didn't push the button. Well your forgetting that the circumstances behind the button being pushed.

I think you highly over estimate John Q public. Less than half the nation votes. Over the last forty years John Q public has seen his economic power cut in half while the moneyed elite have seen their power more than double, yet still only half of John Q public votes. That tells me that half the 'masses' just don't give two f***s about the system that oversees them-- good, bad, or ugly, they just don't care.

He gave the order and had a reasonable expectation it would be followed. He's most certainly guilty, although so is everyone in the command chain between Die Fuhrer and the person who actually physically pressed the button. Hang 'em all.

...Yes, I imagined that was your answer ~ I just dug up another Rodders meme ! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

...There were, I guess (I do not have time to follow & read that now. ), some nullifiers, an above-average amount, then (There have been some in prior election.) ~ However, my earlier point, I believe, still holds.

No, you're not the only one who figured that out -- Trump won because people voted for him, not because of the Ruskies coining the term "crooked Hillary". For all the "muh feelings" whining the main stream media does, Trump has actually been a great boon to the stock market and I believe he is only getting started with the goodness. I currently day trade on the stock market and it has never been better, DOW was the highest it's has been in something like the last 22 years? That's crazy!

Bernie Sanders gathers the young and old disillusioned masses by telling them that corporations and people that have more money than them are evil in general and to solve all the problems in the world, we just have to tax the rich from here to eternity. I've never seen anything more hypocritical coming from a man that owns, what, three homes? Besides that fact, I knew a couple people that were die-hard Sanders supporters and they were borderline pathetic -- not wanting to take responsibility for their own lives (one guy even told me that he hoped to marry a rich wife so he wouldn't have to work -- he was 25, college educated, yet did not want to get a proper job because he was too busy "finding himself") (FYI guys -- this is really pathetic to the opposite sex!), and a bunch of others that either felt entitled to others' money or had some gripe with the world and felt like everyone owed them something. I can understand this coming from the AS community because we are often marginalized, but for the vast majority of people that should have no problem being active members of society, this thinking is rather pathetic, and I see them more as lazy and naive rather than revolutionary.

Hell -- I've got more things working against me and up until last week I was working two jobs and getting along in the world as best as I could, so why can't others?

The reason that Trump won is because most Americans wanted change. If most Americans didn't want change, Clinton would have won.

Actually though, most Americans had voted for Clinton, but Trump had won the Electoral college. Had the Presidential election been based on the popular vote - as it is in every other democracy - there'd be a President Clinton now.

Not most, only 2-3% more. 48.2% to 46.1% is a pretty narrow margin. It's pretty close to a tie. Although I know it's preferable to say "most" or "majority" because it makes it sound more significant than it actually was.

If the election was determined by popular vote, Clinton would have won. That's a majority, no matter how close the vote was.

I hope this helps clear things up.
